Hi Supun,
I tried out several alternative options to automate your scenario without
enabling input filed visibility, but non of them works.
So our recommendation is to go with JavaScriptExecutor. If something cannot
be directly automated, you need to inject testability into your code, thus
altering the application behaviour at run time to provide automate friendly
UI is okay. You can use following code snippet as a reference.
WebDriver driver = new FirefoxDriver();
driver.get("http://localhost:9763/mlUI/";); //don't hard code the URL
driver.findElement(By.xpath("//input[@name='username']")).sendKeys("admin");
driver.findElement(By.xpath("//input[@name='password']")).sendKeys("admin");
driver.findElement(By.xpath("//input[@class='blueButton']")).click();
driver.findElement(By.xpath("//img[@id='new_project_img']")).click();
driver.findElement(By.xpath("//input[@id='projectName']")).sendKeys("testProject");
driver.findElement(By.xpath("//textarea[@id='projectDescription']")).sendKeys("testDesc");
driver.findElement(By.xpath("//input[@id='workflowName']")).sendKeys("workflow");
JavascriptExecutor js = (JavascriptExecutor) driver;
js.executeScript("document.getElementById(\"datasetName\").disabled
= false;");
driver.findElement(By.xpath("//input[@id='datasetName']")).sendKeys("/Users/krishantha/Desktop/train.csv");
Thanks,
Krishantha.
